Ad fontes: International research on the sixteenth century Reformation and the position in South Africa

Abstract

Today more research on the Reformation in general and the great reformers in particular is being done than is generally known. The reappraisal of the 16th century has in the past decades brought about important results in Reformation research. This article will not go into these results — a whole series of articles would be necessary. It will merely illuminate the following facts: where, by whom and about what the relevant research is being done.
